A handful of rural homes
What we expect to find in South Street
In a hamlet this size the homes are usually a handful of houses and cottages of different ages, many with gardens, sheds and outbuildings added over time. The electrics rarely date from a single period as a result. A fuse box from decades ago can easily be feeding modern kitchen appliances, an electric shower and a garden supply it was never designed for.
The first step is a set of pictures covering your board and meter, which we turn into a fixed price. Dual RCD boards, from £425, and full RCBO boards, from £625, cover what most homes here need. If the testing that follows every change finds a problem on a circuit, we explain it and agree any extra work first.
- Ageing fuse boxes retired
- Shower and kitchen loads checked
- Garden supplies protected
- Extra work agreed before it starts

Power gone? Working out where the fault lies
A rural home can lose power for two very different reasons. If the neighbours are dark too, or your main switch and RCDs are all still on, the fault is probably on the network, and UK Power Networks should be called free on 105. If only your house is affected and a switch on the board has dropped, the problem is on your side.
Repeated trips on your own board deserve attention. Damp in an outside light, a failing appliance or ageing cables could all be behind them, and old fuse boxes give little help in telling which. A new board with separate protection, plus the full test we carry out, narrows the cause down quickly.
- 105 for network power cuts
- Board trips traced to a circuit
- Damp outdoor fittings checked
- RCBOs keep faults contained

South Street questions
Asked in South Street
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Partly. Each board we fit has Type 2 surge protection built in, limiting voltage spikes from network switching or nearby lightning before they reach routers, televisions and boiler controls. It cannot prevent a power cut, and unplugging sensitive equipment in a severe storm is still sensible, but it removes a good deal of risk.
Rewireable fuses did their job in their day, but they give no protection against electric shock, and it is easy to mend one with the wrong thickness of wire, which defeats the point. They also make faults harder to trace. Replacing them with a modern consumer unit is one of the most worthwhile safety improvements an older home can have.
For a planned change, a few days' notice is usually plenty, and the date is confirmed once you accept the fixed quote from your photos. If the power is off or the board looks damaged, ring straight away. Calls are answered every day of the week, and a home with no supply at all is one we aim to reach the same day.
